Forecast has taken a turn for the worse. Can see this being called off. That will also give Nicki time to recover from his injury.

Why is there no preview on the Panthers website?

Told Nicki is riding.

If Nicki didn't get injured vs Ipswich, we would have beaten them.

The racing has been pretty poor.

If Grudziadz are going to ban 1 rider from Britain, it's not not going to be Nicki, it's going to be the dreadful Max Fricke.

Nicki is 2/2. If he doesn't ride on Monday, something is seriously wrong.

I've cancelled plans with the other half and I will be closely watching Nicki tomorrow evening. Let's see how Nicki gets on.

How was the crowd?

Panthers officials have flown out to Poland for crunch talks with Nicki. Big 24 hours.

Nicki's legacy in the sport will be tarnished if he pulls out of his Panthers contract. The world titles will have an asterisk next to them.

If that happens, Nicki should be sacked on the spot.

With respect to a tin pot club like Grudziadz, we we are the Peterborough Panthers.

Nicki is committed to the Panthers. Nothing has changed.

He had to go to Poland to obtain a medical exemption for missing the Polish League's individual championship. If he didn't travel to Poland and just pulled out, he would have been barred from riding in the club's league match next weekend. Poland take their individual championship very seriously and don't like riders pulling out.

Emil loves the British fans, that's utter nonsense from the plastic Aussie.

Emil rode at Peterborough in 2011.

If the Panthers are serious, they should drop Worrall for Kenneth Bjerre.

Nicki is probably more annoyed with the track. If that isn't sorted, he won't be riding in England for much longer.

Nicki has already told his Polish team that he will be riding at the weekend.

Agree. A huge crowd and if it wasn't for Emil, many would have gone home disappointed.

Nobody doubts top riders draw crowds. The problem is that the top riders don't want to ride in Britain due to money and logistics. They're happy just to do Poland and the GPs. The only reason Nicki is riding in Britain is to boost his pension fund. Emil is riding in Britain because of his GP ban / being rusty due to the Russian ban. If Emil is invited back into the GPs next year, will he be riding in the Premiership next year? I highly doubt it.

Nicki is a professional. I really can't see him pulling out a commitment. Reading Polish media, Nicki is fine and just has a sore back. He will be back to his very best. Ipswich got a very lucky break tonight. Nicki was beating Bartosz and Artem last night, he would have had no problem with Doyle and the lesser Russian.

If I'm correct, we have 7 points to replace Richie Worrall. Using the money from the gate tonight (£22 x 3000 = £66,000), we can tempt any rider in world speedway. 1. Janusz Kolodizej - 6.51 2. Dominik Kubera - 7.00 3. Kacper Woryna - 6.36 4. Piotr Pawlicki - 7.00 5. Rohan Tungate - 6.61 6. Mikkel Michelsen - 7.00 7. Krystof Buczkowski - 6.02 8. Antonio Lindback - 7.00 9. Kenneth Bjerre - 7.02 - He might fit, do rolling averages get updated at the end of the month? So our team average may have dropped by 0.02? My preference is the below. 1. Mikkel Michelsen 2. Janusz Kolodziej 3. Dominik Kubera 4. Kenneth Bjerre 5. Kacper Woryna

Anyone else think it is a tragedy that Emil will be riding most of his meetings at Foxhall? Emil must wish he was a Panther.
